INDIAN PENAL CODE,
1860
Prof. Dr. Mukund Sarda
Dean & Principal
Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University
New Law College, Pune
Introduction
 Prof. Salmond defined law as
“ The body of principles recognized and applied by
the State in the administration of justice”.
 Law consists of rules recognized and acted on by the
courts of justice.
 Law is the means where as justice is the end.
 Law is an instrument of social progress and social
control
 It is a “social engineering” to make a balance between
individual wants and social interest.
Prof. Dr. Mukund Sarda
 Oxford Dictionary defines law as
“The body of rules, whether proceeding from formal
Act or from custom, which a particular State or
community recognizes as binding upon its members”.
 Law pre-supposes a State which has the sanction to
enforce the law. Without a State, law has no meaning.
 Mostly, Law is obeyed as a matter of habit.
Prof. Dr. Mukund Sarda
 The highest law in India is the Constitution of India.
 No other law is above it.
 If any law has a provision against the Constitution, it
is ultra vires and not binding.
Prof. Dr. Mukund Sarda
Kinds Of Law
1. SUBSTANTIVE LAW
 Defines the offences like theft, robbery, dacoity,
hurt, murder etc.
 Mostly contained in the Indian Penal Code,1860
and other special Acts like the Railways Act,
Prevention of Corruption Act etc.
Prof. Dr. Mukund Sarda
2. PROCEDURAL LAW
 Lays down the procedure as to
i. how an offender shall be arrested and by whom
ii. how an investigation will be made
iii. how the bail will be allowed
iv. what are the various courts and how they shall
try an offender
v. codified in the
 Criminal Procedure Code,1973

 Indian Evidence Act, 1872.
Prof. Dr. Mukund Sarda
Indian Penal Code, 1860
 Extends to whole of India except the state of J&K.
 Every person shall be liable to punishment under this
Code and not otherwise for every act or omission
contrary to the provisions thereof, of which he shall be
guilty within India
 Even a foreigner who enters the Indian territory also
submits himself to the operation of Indian laws and he
cannot be allowed to plead in defence that he did not
know that he was doing wrong, as the act was not an
offence in his own country.
 It is a cardinal principle of criminal law that all persons
should be treated equal in the eyes of law.
Prof. Dr. Mukund Sarda
